Greece seizes 54 kilos of cocaine in bananas container (Video)

Greek authorities have confiscated approximately 54 kilos of cocaine worth €2.35m hidden within a container of bananas originating from Ecuador and destined for Piraeus, according to Greek customs authorities.

As it is reported, during the inspection at the 3rd Piraeus Customs Office, a suspicious organic substance was detected in the external cooling mechanism of the container.

After a positive reading and the KYBERR drug-sniffing dog, a physical search followed, where 45 packages of cocaine were seized, totalling a gross weight of 54 kilos.

The value of the seized cocaine is estimated at approximately €2.35m.

The investigation is continuing, and a possible link between the case and other similar cases is being examined as part of efforts to dismantle an international drug import and trafficking ring.
